CASA LOMA

Absolutely loved my job.  I was very good at my job!   I was awarded  the best employee of Casa Loma as well as best employee of my department.
I was very familiar with the rules and regulations of the city with regards to running an event at Casa Loma.  I promoted the Castle by touring prospective clients throughout the establishment. With my knowledge, and people skills we were successful in booking many weddings and social events. I also took care of wedding rehearsals, new years celebrations, ghost tracking events, symphony in the gardens and various other social events.
The only reason for leaving was the disrespect shown to the existing knowledgeable staff by the new managing caterer.  Made working there impossible.

A typical day at Casa Loma is making sure the guests are satisfied and enjoying the tour. Working in guest services means you have to be flexible and be able to adapt to every situation. You learn how to be patient yet efficient, and there is always work to be done. My coworkers are friendly and make the job much more enjoyable. The hardest part of this job is making sure the castle is kept tidy, however I enjoy helping out our guests and making sure they're enjoying their time. All in all Casa Loma is a great place and I thoroughly enjoy working there.

A typical day entailed either working at the front desk or the audio desk. Front desk tasks included checking tickets, manning the first floor, handing out maps in the language that the visitor required, giving them basic instructions, and folding maps. The audio desk tasks included handing out audio guides and giving each visitor instructions on how to use them, using a handheld transceiver to keep in contact with the other employees, cleaning and organizing the audio guides, as well as operating the elevator for handicapped visitors. My coworkers were extremely helpful and pleasant.

I would get into work, start cleaning up from last nights event which is a 2-3 man job, that was a typical day. I've learned almost everything there is to know such as, the importance of teamwork. Management was clueless, I was their rugrat for them to do anything. It was pretty multicultural but to many people coming and going. The hardest part is I was breaking my back for them for over 3 years but still never got noticed, or even a raise. But in the end I realized  because of all that I have a lot more knowledge about the world and work environment.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Your co-workers. That is the ONLY best part.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management and schedule. Or the lack of both.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic and corrupt. Stressful most days, when it shouldn’t be.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
That is dependent on what Management wants you to do or not do. There really is no typical day.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people you work with are great, just not your supervisor who is always around and micro manages you.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The supervisor from the maintenance department. Has really bad anger issues, constantly yells at everyone he works with, and overall just puts a pressure on everyone.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic, poor management, and poor planning.

At home Loma I enjoyed my work, because while I kept the bathrooms clean many people went and entertained me. Casa Loma is a beautiful place, because it is cultural, historical, people from different countries came.I also enjoy my services at Casa Loma. there at Casa Loma there were halloween parties exhibit and all other exhibits from the early 19 hundreds century.

Worked there while I was in school at the University of Toronto. Very friendly crew, helpful  management and  they taught me useful skills, such as discipline, work ethics, and commitment. I still work there occasionally, but since I am about to finish school, I want to find a full time job. The hardest part of the job was that I did not make tips, since it was banquets, and the most enjoyable was the nice venue and the people I worked with.

Loved working there. It was fast paced, stressful at times but I found that it was very collaborative and my coworkers made the hours go by faster. Supervisors and people who worked upstairs were great. But upper management was so out of touch with what the day to day employees actually went through. They made decisions that made processes much harder. We progressively did more work with the same pay. Not to mention, they were so pretentious. 

I work part time. I like that they are very flexible about schedules. 
I don't think they look after their permanent staff very well though. People don't seam to be very happy working there. A lot of complaining at lunch time. 
You see so many people everyday, it is an exciting place in that aspect. 
Co-workers are easy to work with.
